Speaking of the launch, House of Janaan Founder Sarah Illyas stated: “Venturing into entrepreneurship with the launch of my brand was not an easy one but one that took years of planning and was backed by having over a decade of experience in the fashion industry. The opening of House of Janaan is a realisation of this dream, a dream to share the beauty and elegance of Pakistani culture and style. This debut collection is a labour of dedication and I’m excited to invite all our customers to experience the enchantment of the House of Janaan. In the upcoming months customers can also expect a multitude of offerings including our expansion into ecommerce.”
